Basically, content syndication is when a post, article or any other piece of content from your blog is featured on a popular site that is relevant to your niche.

The entire process of content syndication allows third party sites to publish and republish your content, blog posts, videos, and website.

This in return makes readers engage more with your content by letting reputable syndication sites to push through the crowded market. This kind of exposure gives a better visibility over the net and helps you reach the audience you want to target.

That is not the case anymore since there is a link directing the Google bots back to the site where the article was originally published. Google will no more will penalize the content if it has the source of the original publisher.

In reality, there really aren’t too many disadvantages to content syndication. But, there are plenty of benefits. These include everything from increased traffic to your website, exposing you and your brand to a new audience, establishing yourself as an expert, receiving quality links, and improving search rankings.
